It also depends on how you feel about the rest of your roster and the FA wire. I think going big early is a bold but seems like a good strategy, the further you get into the season less likely you find someone but injuries….
We have a $100. Sure there will be injuries this season but decent cuffs are on rosters already. I seriously believe this is the best WW pick up for the season. I have seen bids of $98 on opportunities like this one. I already blasted past your 40% limit and thinking of upping it.
I think adding Carter will be a big addition. If this was a dynasty league I’d bid my entire budge, however since this is a redraft I should maybe pump the brakes. He clears waivers Monday so I got time to reconsider.
Wow... I don't know about that. I tend to be a little frugal with my FA auction money when there is a cap. People tend to blow their wad early and let you get bargains midseason because you have the money to throw at someone. But, I will admit that I haven't been in too many of those leagues. I do remember that bit of information, though.
I get it, but if you swing and miss, it puts you at a serious disadvantage throughout the season on the wire. And with the Covid ordeal, you never know when you want to have a little extra in the pot to grab someone who shoots into a feature back role for a stretch. You know your league, but I think I let someone spend at least half of their budget for a wild card. And I am aware that he could just as easily be the OROY this year. Honestly, I think he is somewhere in the middle, though, and overall won't be worth spending the money you would need to.
Normal I'm cheap as heck with my WW budget, but how often you get a RB that was drafted to be the RB1 on his team and in fact looks like he will be the starter and not due to injury, off the WW? He was drafted in this league at 8.07 and dropped for Ty'son Williams. That's some crazy FF right there and I doubt it happens again this season. Yes if any of my starters get injured I may find it hard to find replace when I only have $31 left, that the gamble. I don't know how injuries will work out but I'd replace R. Jones with Carter in my flex and that will be a upgrade for both the position and for depth at the position
Initially was thinking around $30…not too low but enough to possibly get him
Full PPR
I have been hearing that he's not going to start and could be RB3 for the Jets. I hear Ty Johnson has looked better and will be the starter. I decided that I got plum carried away and plan to change/ reduce my bid. Guess I haven't paid a lot of enough attention to Carters preseason performance.
Most important thing IMO is that you’re spending money for the entire season.
What would you bid on Carter ?
Disregard my comment.
So would you bid anything? Dang I thought this was a opportunity but it starting to sound like fools gold. LOL Guess I should of drafted Pittman in that other league. LOL
I didn’t realize, like you, he could possibly be RB3 on the Jets. It’s tough enough taking a chance on a Jets RB in general but RB3…not looking good. Shit happens throughout the season though. For now. I would bid low bc it sounds like he won’t be a day 1 starter/contributor but that could change quick of produces when he gets the opportunity. All that being said, I’ve see zero plays of this kid during preseason. Long season, don’t go too crazy.
Still going to bid on him as he should at least be the RB catching passes and I need another RB. However the bid will be much much lower.
